What Are The Restrictions On Using A Flanged Ball Valve?

Flanged Ball Valve cannot be used in certain environments. This is because the automatic mechanism in these valves is an electromechanical device, and its operating mode is significantly affected by the operating conditions. So, under what conditions would electric fluorine-lined ball valves not be used?

1. Indoor installation or outdoor use with protective equipment;

2. Outdoor installation, subject to corrosion from wind, sand, rain, dew, sunlight, etc.;

3. In the presence of explosive or flammable gases or dust;

4. Dry and cold regions;

5. Ballistic media temperatures exceeding 150°C;

6. Temperatures below -20°C;

7. Susceptible to flooding or immersion in water;

8. In the presence of explosive gases (nuclear power plants and explosive gas experimental equipment);

9. On ships or school docks (exposed to salt spray, yeast, and humidity);

10. Locations subject to severe vibration; Locations prone to fire.

In these environmental conditions, the electric fluorine-lined ball valve should be used with care to maximize its service life.
